Connect to the printer via the serial cable and a
communications program (such as HyperTerminal). Ensure
your communications software matches the baud rate
displayed in the configuration label generated in Step 1. For
help connecting the printer to a PC, see “Serial Cable
Communications” earlier in this guide.

Reset the printer to the factory network defaults by typing the
following two commands in the serial communication
program window:
! U1 DO “device.restore_defaults” “wlan”
! U1 DO “device.restore_defaults” “ip”

Set the eSSID of the printer to match your wireless network
by issuing the following command:
! U1 SETVAR “wlan.essid” “my essid”
where “my essid” is the eSSID of your wireless network. Please
note the values must be enclosed in double quotes. If you do
not know what the eSSID of your network is, please contact
your network administrator for assistance.

Set the printer’s operating mode to ad hoc by issuing the
following command:
! U1 SETVAR “wlan.operating_mode” “ad hoc”

Set the encryption mode of the printer to off via the following
command:

If a unit in your ad hoc network is acting as a DHCP server,
issue the following command to enable DHCP supported on
the printer:
! U1 SETVAR “ip.dhcp.enable” “on”
If your network does not use DHCP, you need to issue the
following commands to disable DHCP and provide the
proper IP settings:
! U1 SETVAR “ip.dhcp.enable” “off”
! U1 SETVAR “ip.netmask” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
! U1 SETVAR “ip.addr” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
